Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi assured Fox News viewers in Florida that they will be blessed with numerous visits from President Donald Trump in the coming weeks.

Bondi, appearing on Fox and Friends just after 6:30 a.m. Sunday, compelled the audience to “get ready to see President Trump,” including “multiple times in Florida.”

One such visit, a Monday foray to Sanford for an airport hangar rally, has already been slated. That event was rescheduled from the week before, when it was postponed due to the President’s coronavirus diagnosis.

Trump’s doctors claim the President is no longer contagious.

In that context, Bondi’s assurances suggest more scheduled stops are in the works.

“He has so many events scheduled, in Florida and around the country,” Bondi said. “Get ready to see President Trump coming to an airport near you.”

Bondi, the vice-chair of Women for Trump, has been one of the President’s most loyal Sunshine State backers.

“He has so many events scheduled, in Florida and around the country,” Bondi said. “He is all over the country and he’s going to be in Florida multiple, multiple times because Florida not only is his home state, but he knows how important Florida is to the entire country.”

Trump will have a little more time to appear at airport hangar rallies, with the second presidential debate scuttled due to the debate commission wanting a virtual setup to ward against potential virus contamination. Trump and advocates, including Bondi, have said that’s a no go.

The former AG reiterated that position Sunday, saying Trump “wants to debate Joe Biden in person, which is what a debate is all about.

“You’ve seen the things they’ve held,” Bondi continued, “where Biden was reading the scripted answers.”

The former Attorney General actually dialed down her rhetoric on this matter from another appearance on the same program on the conservative news network last week.

Bondi said on “Fox and Friends” Thursday that Biden could cheat during what was tentatively planned to be a virtual debate.

“I think the problem with that [virtual plan] is they could cheat in the debate. We know that,” Bondi said. “We have to have someone there to verify that Joe Biden doesn’t have something in his ear, feeding him answers, or have someone standing in front of the camera handing him answers.

“There’s gotta be a safeguard in there to make sure they aren’t feeding him answers into his ear,” she added.

While the rhetoric may have been softened, the message was essentially the same.

    So if Trump loses and Democrats hold the House and take the Senate…will the Qataris have to find a new lobbyist?

    Wouldn’t it be nice if these public figures put the country ahead of their own wallets?

    These comments by Pam Bondi are insulting to intelligent voters. It would have been better for Ms. Bondi to remain quiet and not make a fool of herself.

    Pam stop the spreading of conspiracy BS.
    Trump is a closet serial killer. His policies and actions regarding COVID 19 has killed too many American citizens needlessly. I wonder how many Floridians will be infected with COVID 19 by attending his upcoming Flordia propaganda speeches?

    The word “blessed” in the lede should have been placed in quotes.

    Tom Palmer, greetings! But the lede doesn’t quote Blondie. I mean Bondi. We don’t know if she actually used the word “blessed.” It may be too many syllables for her 🙂

    But I agree, “blessed” seems presumptuous.

    Bondi, isn’t she the one trump bought (pretty cheaply) with a campaign contribution?That would make her, what, a whore? She’s even starting to speak like him, just like a second grader.

    Bondi, you have no political future, but maybe Madame Melania will employ you once she’s running her own House.

    DisplaceCTYankee You missed the point. It was a suckup lede. Criticism aimed at author not Bondi. He seems to uncritically quotes a lot of GOP pols.
